Week Two

This week saw an improvement.  While I think Jeff Galloway’s plan is great as written, it isn’t for me, at least not yet.  I have done better with my own plan.  Which has consisted of some multiple day work outs.  That seems to level my glucose better than anything.

My follow up with the doctor was on Monday the 16th.  he was pleased with my progression thus far.  I have lost 10 pounds by his scales, 13 by mine.  My glucose is not perfect yet, but it is closing in.  If I can get down 25 points on average, I will be there.

Performance wise I did my first 5 mile long run on Saturday.  It was on a treadmill due to the weather being icy.  I managed to get my very first blister.  the shoes from Ragged Mountain running in Charlottesville are great.  I always need a few weeks in a pair before I get them broken in well enough to not rub me wrong.

As you can see I got in a pretty good week.  I got in 19.87 miles in all cardio (running and walking).  Not too bad considering.  Food wise it has been an interesting week.  i did pretty well until Saturday, my boss had his annual holiday party.  That was sort of offset by the long run, and the next day my glucose was fine.

Goals this week are to get in two a days.  Tuesday and Thursday will be light running days, most likely the elliptical with some  weights and core training. Wednesday will be interval training for speed pick up.    The core training and push ups are every day. I am hoping to be sub 210 pounds by the end of December.
